escalation in crisis

Perhaps we don't need to condemn leadership too much but at the same time face up to some small facts that have played a roll in the incidents of the past few days concerning embassy assaults and deaths of American citizens. If memory serves me correct and it does, we just had an eleventh year anniversary of 9-11. A day which turned complacency on its head. Around the world terrorists have planned daily to find ways they can kill Americans and bring terror to as many people as possible. If it is through bombing, propaganda, intimidation, or any number of ways our enemies have thought about the number of ways they could bring destruction and turmoil to this country. Being this was an anniversary of 9-11 and every person with half a brain could imagine the possibility of an attack somewhere in the world against American interests. Why this administration did not plan ahead for these possibilities I cannot explain other than incompetence.

Now that things have taken place the administration seems to have taken shelter for this mistake behind words. not their words of explanation, encouragement, or warning of a reprisal against those responsible who would commit such crimes against America and its citizens. Instead what we have is words about Mitt Romney because he spoke out and said basically America needs to stop acting like wimps. This will continue and it will move into other countries with the same hatred and unless strength is shown it will get even worse.
